England & Wales Green Party membership passes 25,000 mark

The Green Parties of the UK have seen huge growth over the past few months following the independence referendum and being excluded from the TV debates.

Membership of the Green Party of England & Wales last night hit 25,000, after growing by a rate of over 1,000 per week during the past month.

This brings the combined Scottish Green Party and E&W membership to 33,000 – rapidly catching up with UKIP’s 40,000 members (a figure which unlike ours includes Northern Ireland), and indeed the Liberal Democrats.
